Facing unexpected budget constraints on a construction project? Prioritize tasks by focusing on the critical path to keep the project on schedule. Ensure compliance and safety tasks are non-negotiable to avoid costly risks. Conduct a cost-benefit analysis to maximize value, and consider deferring non-essential tasks. Engage stakeholders to realign priorities and explore cost-saving alternatives without compromising quality or key milestones. Adapt quickly to maintain project momentum within the new budget.
